We encourage each bride to take her time, relax and have fun - yes, FUN - while learning about one-of-a- kind vendors and services to compliment all of your bridal needs. Prizes are given away at the end of each show. You never know what wedding gift you'll go home with!

Get to know Artistic Wedding Albums!
What is the name of your company?
Artistic Wedding Albums. Any background or personal info you want to share with our audience about your company?
Our business concept is somewhat new to Central Iowa and was created to help couples create a beautiful wedding album. With the advent of digital photography, many people
1) do not hire a professional wedding photographer (but have digital images from friends and relatives)
2) have a "destination wedding" where they are "handed" the digital images of the day, and/or
3) have a photographer who does not specialize in creating arttistic rendered images.
In any one of these three cases, the couple may still want to create a beautiful album, but may not know how. Artistic Wedding Albums will fill this void and meet their need.
How long have you been in the industry?
We have been in the wedding industry for over 27 years.
Who are the principals of the company?
Leslie and Brian Garman
What is the favorite part of your job?
Getting to see the entire creation process, from beginning to end. Brides and grooms are amazed how our process can enhance their images and really create an album that is almost a piece of art.
What is your company's specialty?
Creating artistically rendered images that are placed in one of three types of end products: wedding albums, wedding books or coffee table books, all in varying sizes.
What is the best "hidden secret" people would be surprised your company offers?
We also do a DVD wedding story that is a wonderful way to share your wedding memories with family and friends. Its an easy way to share your images without mailing your wedding album.
What sets you apart from your competition?
We are different because of the unique way that our images are enhanced to bring out the best features of not only the bridal couple, but of the feeling that the image is trying to convey. We can make color images black and white, as well as to spot tone flowers and other special details. We help you remember the details of your day.
What expert advice do you have for a couple planning their wedding?
Photography is important. It is really the only lasting memory and keepsake of your day. Make sure that your images are captured in some way on your special day.
Any special recognitions or awards from your industry?
We are new in this field, but we have had customers come up to us and say "I FOUND YOU". They are so happy to see us and learn that we are offering this service. The biggest award we can really receive is the praise from our clientele.
